[@CrystalApple] 'seeing emotions' are iffy. I don't mind the part where they can see emotions, but the part where they can directly influence them seems irky to me. I'll explain why; as a writer I make my character be mad. Suddenly a character with the power to change emotions on others walks in, sees that my character is mad and decided 'fuck that shit' and makes him happy instead. That completely messes up the flow of things, and probably also messes up plot-related stuff. So therefore I'm gonna keep that in mind whilst grading. If it's like your KG description (only uses it to use better genjutsu fitted to an emotion) it should be OK. [quote]【Sexuality】 Asexual [/quote] Congratulations your character just became a major romance target for Gin and Shin. [quote]Jutsu name: Peace Be the Journey Rank: A-Ranked Range: 30 Meter Radius Description: A powerful jutsu, the clan member channels chakra through the Yokuatsugan and into a thirty meter radius around them. Any conscious organisms within that range have the regions of the brain that control anger and aggression shut down. Animals will approach the ninja and do no harm, and opponents who are affected by the genjutsu will walk away from the Kussunagi Clan member. This jutsu is ineffective against characters who are more clever and smart than the clan member, and violent actions taken on the part of the clan member will dispel the technique immediately for anyone directly observing these actions. This technique lasts for up to seven posts.[/quote] Okay this is basically the kind of influencing emotions thing I was talking about. The foundation is good and technically in the naruverse it should be possible. But in illustration, if you are fighting a major bad guy all it really takes is for you to use this technique. It'd be a one shot and since it's an AOE attack there's no dodging it. Fighting a bad guy, he's really angry and aggressive, everyone is all riled up. In walks your character, [b]*poof*[/b], suddenly the bad guy turns into a nice little sheep. Unless the effect only carries over to your character, in which case the bad guy would attack all the others and this jutsu would be pretty useless, because as soon as you go to help them the genjutsu dispels itself. So this one needs _heavy_ reworks. [quote]Jutsu name: Shadow of Death Rank: B-Ranked Range: 15 Meter Radius Description: After activating the Yokuatsugan, the clan member makes a set of handseals and channels chakra into the Yokuatsugan in an area of fifteen meters around the clan member. Anyone in the area of effect is caught in the genjutsu. Those caught in the genjutsu will feel the air around the clan member suddenly stir up in a whistling whirlwind, as if displaced by a might ki. They will also feel like they are in the presence of a truly mighty warrior and that they should listen to the clan member. This qualifies as a compulsory change in reasoning for those caught in the genjutsu, assuming that the victim doesn't figure out it's a genjutsu and dispel it. This technique lasts for up to five posts.[/quote] Okay, so this one is pretty decent. Except I have one question. As an enemy of this clan member, what would make my mind suddenly go 'he's my enemy but I should listen to him'? I think anyone that is fighting this clan guy will figure out real quick that you shouldn't listen to enemies. In fact that should be their 1st second conclusion. Once again this jutsu has a great foundation but if you put it into the bad guys' perspective it just wouldn't work. Unless you make it a buff for your allies. In which case that'd make fighting enemy genjutsu experts really hard because every time they cast a genjutsu, you'd need to dispel both your own genjutsu and theirs to free them. [quote]Jutsu name: Awakening of Love Rank: B-Ranked Range: 20 Meter Radius Description: The clan member channels chakra through the Yokuatsugan and into a twenty meter radius around them. Anyone within the area will be even less inclined to fight and do harm and more inclined to show signs of affection and compassion. The exact effect this technique will have on the opponent is mostly variable on who is in front of them and their own personalities. This technique lasts for up to four posts, though the effects of the jutsu may last longer.[/quote] Same as your A rank. You have double Shadow of Death by the way. [quote]Jutsu name: Path of the Monk Rank: C-Ranked Range: 20 Meter Radius Description: After activating the Yokuatsugan, the clan member makes a set of hand seals, giving it an additional effect. Anyone within the area of effect of the Yokuatsugan will feel less panicked and their muscles will relax, making them calmer and more approachable. This relaxation can make wounds more bearable, as usually tensing damaged muscles and body parts causes more pain. This technique normally lasts for up to three posts, but if the clan member repeats the seals during the jutsu's duration, they can refresh its post duration.[/quote] How big is the area of effect? You have to keep in mind that as a genjutsu and an AOE genjutsu at that, enemies caught within the genjutsu will also benefit from this. [quote]Jutsu name: Diplomat's Demeanor Rank: C-Ranked Range: 15 Meter Radius Description: The clan member channels chakra through the Yokuatsugan and into a fifteen meter radius around them. For the duration of the technique, the Yokuatsugan makes all within the radius more open to discussion and negotiation, allowing them to move past pride and personal opinion to a larger extent. This will not make those in the radius able to move past particularly heinous grievances or commit impossible orders. This technique lasts for up to four posts.[/quote] So I don't see that they automatically have to agree with you. So if you are argueing with someone who's like, really sure of their point, or realises that there's no personal gain from what your clan member says.. they'd not accept. They'd just argue longer. [quote]Jutsu name: Peace of Devout Rank: C-Ranked Range: 10 Meter Radius Description: After activating the Yokuatsugan, the clan member makes a set of handseals and channels chakra into the Yokuatsugan in an area of ten meters around the clan member. Anyone in the area of effect is caught in the genjutsu. Those caught in the genjutsu will see the air around the clan member calm, and they will feel that they are in the presence of a respectable pacifist, even more so if the clan member is actually a respectable diplomat. While this does not impose a compulsory change in reasoning for the opponent, it may definitely coerce those caught in the jutsu to act or think differently. This technique lasts for up to four posts.[/quote] This one's OK. Scholarly poise is a double of the above. In short, lots of work to do. You're not the first one to try empathy, so I kinda already had a checklist prepared for things that I don't want to see in it. I do like the picture you used for your character and the jutsu are written out nicely so you have that going for you, it's just the content that irks me at this point.
